If Mars/Mercury are in a different rashi but same nakshatra as Sun, are they conjunct with Sun or not?

Dear AL
Conjunction works only when 2 planets are in same navamsa (i.e. within a range of 3 deg 20 min), else for practical purpose they are distant.
God bless you

Planets in the same sign are conjunct. So even if they are a degree away from each other but in different signs then they are Not conjunct.

For combustion they can be in the same or different signs as combustion is a function of degrees strictly and conjunction is a function of sign.

So a planet can be combust + conjunct and combust but not conjunct. Planets in a previous or next sign to Sun leads to Vasi or Vesi yog respectively which I think is a function of luminosity/rays.
